Nessun dorma

We turned the clocks back last Saturday night, which means that Dylan has been waking up very, very early in the morning. About two hours early for some odd reason...He begins crying and I usually find him in his crib standing in his sleep sack and swaying from side to side calling "ma ma ma." I put him in bed with us and after a series of early morning greetings all around, Dylan settles into a comfortable position next to me. Cristiano falls back asleep immediately, obviously, (lucky papà!) but I wait until I hear Dylan starting to breathe rhythmically until I even think about relaxing. I don't fall back to sleep easily once awoken but typically on these mornings when Dylan wakes early and comes into bed with us, just as I'm about to drift off, my (ostensibly) slumbering little baby turns into Dylan "the Mexican jumping bean" and starts bouncing off the headboard. Literally. He likes nothing more than banging his hands (or his head) off our wooden headboard and as much as we try to keep him away from it, he's unstoppable. I wonder if he pretends to fall back asleep on purpose only to "surprise" me when I am about to fall back asleep?
